Otter House Activity— Tonight, Joe Foo builds on some thumbnail sketches that he drew earlier this week on a LIVE INSTAGRAM video. You can follow Joe on Instagram… the link is posted below. In a quick drawing, Foo shows how he breaks down the character of Bambino from Pixar’s Short La Luna into simple shapes.

In this week’s video, Joe Foo takes a very complex character and breaks him down into simple shapes. This is an Otter House Activity, so it goes back to basics. This gives beginners a good point to jump on board. It also gives more experienced artists a chance to stretch their drawing muscles and push their sketches. As always, if Joe is drawing too fast, feel free to pause, rewind or rewatch the video! Have fun as you draw and make it your own! Try drawing Bambino, or your own favorite Disney Pixar character.

Surprise Live Drawing… er…I mean… Video: Joe Foo broadcasts live from a very awesome… but very packed Disney California Adventure on opening weekend of Pixar Pier. Joe’s intentions were to sketch something in DCA, but the huge crowds and the very warm sun prevented him from doing so. Note to everyone… phones can overheat and get mad at you.

Even though Joe could not draw at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, he made sure to record some intros to some future drawing videos. In this video, he drops a hint that he will be drawing a sketch of the characters of La Luna, a Pixar short written and directed by Enrico Casarosa. Stay tuned for some fun drawings and sketches!

Live Sketch Challenge — Today… we DRAW on the streets of Ann Arbor in a segment recorded this past Saturday at the Ann Arbor Comics Arts Festival. Joe Foo is joined by Emily and Josh and a few PencilPointers to play a fun drawing game called “Exquisite Corpse“. This drawing exercise that originated from the Surrealist movement, where several artists collaborate on a single piece.

Emily starts the game, and is suggested to draw the top half of a TARDIGRADE… or a WATER BEAR. Josh covered his ears and danced in the street while this was being drawn, afterwards, he drew the bottom half of a TIGER to complete the creature.
